As I see it, "much of what we know today as dsl" comes from Robert's hard work and innovative thinking. DSL actually has very little in common with Knoppix once the knoppix-autoconfig script finishes its run.

Torp..Hey, I'm glad you are excited about k5 but I was not compareing dsl and knoppix. I was pointing out that knoppix was loaded with excessive duplication...it does need a powerfull unit to run well... and needs.. a good note pad, a mediun fast loading text editer with spell check, and a full blown word processor....Joe, mary,and jane added to that is just bloat..I agree it has a lot of cool stuff..maby they deleted the bloat in 5..will get on that...any way enjoy..it's just talk
